The fact that people think in
different accents
really gets to me
T
he question why I would let Willow cut her
hair. First, the 'let' must be
challenged. This is a world where women, girls, are
constantly reminded that they don't
belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own,
nor their power or self determination. I made a
promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know
that her body, mind and spirit are all her domain.
Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth, is
not measured by the length of her hair. It's also a statement
that claims that even little girls have the right
to own themselves and should not be a slave
to even their mother's deepest insecurities, hopes
and desires. Even little girls should not be a slave
to preconceived ideas of what a culture believes they should
be.
— Jada Pinkett Smith
"Mitch,” he said, “the culture doesn’t encourage you to
think about such things until you’re about to die. We’re so
wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough
money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the
radiator when it breaks—we’re involved in trillions of little
acts just to keep going. So we don’t get into the habit of
standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all?
Is this all I want? Is something missing?"
Someone: "What foreign language are you taking this
year?"
Me: "Math."
Me: "Math."
Whenever I see a really attractive person, i just laugh
because I know if they lived in the Aztec culture, they'd be
sacrificed to the gods for their beauty
This is probably
going to get quoted in every
publication just because I said it.
And I’m not even saying anything
I’m not talking about my films
I’m not talking about my life
and I’m not talking about the world
And yet, the media will print it simply because I said it
And at this moment in time, I bet there is an artist around the corner of this hotel
on the street, with a mind far beyond ours
but we will never listen to him simply because he has not appeared in a movie
And that is what is f%#$ked up about our culture

Squids can't have culture, at least not culture that persists beyond a generation. When it comes time to mate, all the squids of a species liquid-jet to rendezvous waters for a final orgy. Then they die. The egg-bound young are left to hatch without living parents. Every squid comes into the world without teachers. Anything the sisters, brothers, and cousins learn during their lives and succeed in communicating to their peers is lost when it's their turn to mate and die.
